GOOD AS I
BEEN TO YOU, recorded live in the studio in one take, is
Bob Dylan's first solo-acoustic release since 1965.
Solo performer: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar,
harmonica).
This 1992 release was Dylan's first solo acoustic release
since his early-'60s folkie period. By the early '90s, the
archetypal song poet had gone down so many wrong
compositional roads he rightly decided it was time to take
a break from songwriting. While time would prove him right
(his next album of original material was 1997's sublime
TIME OUT OF MIND), even he probably didn't bank on GOOD AS
I BEEN TO YOU turning out to be such a gem. Focusing on
traditional folk songs like "Blackjack Davey,"
the wry "Arthur McBride" and even the musty old
chestnut "Froggie Went A Courtin'," Dylan
reinvents his Guthrie-derived '60s folk style, using the
age and wisdom inherent in his raspy voice to invest these
songs with new life. GOOD AS I BEEN TO YOU turned out to
be such a good idea, Zimmy followed it with the similar
(but even better) WORLD GONE WRONG.
